ONE-WAY TRAFFIC IN FRONT

OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

We are very
concerned about the safety of our students and for this reason we are asking
that all traffic in front of the elementary school become one-way, headed west,
twenty-four hours a day.We have asked
the City Council to consider adopting this as a city ordinance.In the event that this happens, we will post
signs.Until then, we are asking that
you help keep our children safe by remembering to not drive eastward on the
block fronting the elementary school.There will continue to be two-way traffic in front of the high school.

Just
a reminder:a speed limit of ten (10)
miles per hour is established for all motor vehicles operated on the school
premises.

When
dropping off children, be sure to pull up to the north side of the street so
that your child does not have to cross in front of traffic.Thank you for your consideration and
understanding in this matter.

The
7th and 8th grade team consists of Julie Shahan, Marissa Longano, Tyler Killen,
Amanda Powell, Danielle Eggelston, Wes Mantlo, Kimberly Elsea, Andrea Reeves,
and Bridget Clarkson.The sponsors for
this team are Carol Chambers, Becky Hazen, and Martha Reese.Watch the calendar for the schedule of
competition for both teams.
